Heinz Hopf Prize
The Heinz Hopf Prize is a mathematics prize that is awarded every two years as part of the Heinz Hopf lectures at ETH Zurich . The prize is worth 30,000 Swiss francs and is awarded for outstanding work in the field of pure mathematics. It is named after the mathematician Heinz Hopf .
The prize was awarded for the first time in 2009. The prize money was donated by Dorothee and Alfred Aeppli.
The Heinz Hopf Prize Committee, whose members in 2009 were Gisbert Wüstholz from the ETH Zurich, Erwin Bolthausen from the University of Zurich , and Gerhard Huisken from the Max-Planck make the suggestions for the choice of those who will be awarded the prize Society , Frances Kirwan from the University of Oxford and Horst Knörrer from the ETH Zurich.
The Heinz Hopf lectures are independent of the price and have existed at ETH for a long time. For example, they were held by Don Zagier in 2001 , Helmut Hofer in 2003 and Curtis T. McMullen in 2005 . The winners of the Heinz Hopf Prize also give a Hopf lecture. A distinction is made between the Heinz Hopf Lectureship , a scholarship for post-doctoral students at the ETH.
